Many people imagine that Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆病), the degenerative disorder that ultimately leaves sufferers with total memory loss, is an inevitable result of aging. This is not so. 【C1】______ the risks of contracting the disease increase with age, there are many elderly people【C2】______ memories are perfect. Most of us are so ill-【C3】______ about all forms of memory loss that we label everything as "Alzheimer’s’. Alzheimer’s disease itself can【C4】______ people as young as 30 and can progress either quickly or slowly. It can also【C5】______ the blame for other non-degenerative conditions such as deep depression.【C6】______ , only an examination of the brain tissue during an autopsy (解剖) can produce an accurate【C7】______ of the disease.

The Hawaiian group had a much higher【C16】______ of the disease.

Memory loss, difficulty in【C18】______ familiar tasks, and problems with abstract thinking are all【C19】______ of the onset of the disease. One unusual feature is its impact on language. It attacks nouns first,【C20】______ verbs. Grammar is one of the last things to go. [br] 【C10】
选项
A、at
B、for
C、by
D、until
答案
C
解析
句意辨析题 by在句中表示“不迟于”。这里要了解succumb的意思,它可指“死亡”,此处指“犯病”,如succumb to a terrible fever。若用at,则比较的是在80岁时死亡的可能性,不合常理。
